	Planctae
		In Greek mythology, the Planctae ("wandering rocks") were a group of rocks, between which the sea was mercilessly violent.
		The Argo (led by Jason) was the only ship to navigate them successfully (with divine help from Hera, Thetis and the Nereids).
		Jason chose to brave the Planctae instead of Scylla and Charybdis.

		The Argonauts rowed mightily to get through and lost only part of the ship's stern ornament.
		The Planctae were a group of rocks, between which the sea was mercilessly violent.

	Strabo's Geography 3.2
		Accordingly, one might reasonably suppose that Homer, because he heard about Tartessus, named the farthermost of the nether-regions Tartarus after Tartessis, with a slight alteration of letters; and that he also added a mythical element, thus conserving the creative quality of poetry.
		Again, the poet modelled his "Planctae" after the "Cyaneae," always bringing in his myths from some historical fact or other.
		For example, he tells a mythical story of certain rocks that are dangerous, just as they say the Cyaneae are (from which fact the Cyaneae are also called "Symplegades"), and this is the reason why he cited Jason's voyage through them.

	The Odyssey, by Homer, Butler Tr.; FOOTNOTES Page 10
		When Ulysses comes to take the route prescribed by Circe, he ought to pass either the Wanderers or some other difficulty of which we are not told, but he does not do so.
		The Planctae, or Wanderers, merge into Scylla and Charybdis, and the alternative between them and something untold merges into the alternative whether Ulysses had better choose Scylla or Charybdis.
		Yet from line 260, it seems we are to consider the Wanderers as having been passed by Ulysses; this appears even more plainly from xxiii.

		He also devotes perceptive discussions to the negotiations between Medea, Jason, Arete, and Alcinous, to the Planctae episode,
		Note furthermore that Argo is also a heavenly Sign; discussion of this fact would have supported C.'s case.
		Though in the Planctae discussion I am not convinced by C.'s solution for Hera's notoriously problematic speech to Thetis in 4.783-90 (emending 4.486 te to ke seems inevitable).

		Teh tentacles are definitely octopus-like, but aside from the anthropomorphised face, the head is more like a squid's.
		According to Greek mythology, the planctae (actually a plural) were a set of rocks in the sea that posed a hazard to ships.

		Notice that she says she will not tell him how to get past the next dangers — "A choice of routes is yours.…you must decide for yourself." (62)
		The first is the tall cliffs called the Clashing Rocks (Planctae).
		The only ship to survive going past that hazard was Jason and the Argonauts, because he was helped by the goddess Hera.

		But when thy comrades shall have rowed past these, thereafther I shall not fully say on which side thy course is to lie, but do thou thyself ponder it in mind, and I will tell thee of both ways.
		For on the one hand are beetling crags, and against them roars the great wave of dark-eyed Amphitrite; the Planctae do the blessed gods call these.
		Thereby not even winged things may pass, no, not the timorous doves that bear ambrosia to father Zeus, but the smooth rock ever snatches away one even of these, and the father sends in another to make up the tale.

		Aan de eene zijde namelijk bevinden zich overhangende rotsen, tegen welke de geweldige golven der donkeroogige Amphitrite klotsen met donderend geraas; Planctae, moet ge weten, is hun naam bij de zalige Goden.
		Nadat wij haar nu voorbij waren gevaren en wij niet meer de stem noch ´t gezang der Sirenen vernamen, namen mijn trouwe makkers snel het was weder weg, dat ik hun op de ooren gestreken had en zij maakten mij weder los uit mijn banden.

	Planctae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Planctae, or Wandering Rocks, were a group of craggy rocks through which the sea boomed and surged with uncontrolled fury; it is unclear why they were called "wandering." The Argo, favored by Hera and guided by Thetis and the Nereids, was the only ship to navigate them successfully.
		The only alternative to passing through the Planctae was to pass between the twin hazards of Scylla and Charybdis.

		Out in the Mediterranean, they sailed past the Stoechades Islands (now Hyères islands, off the southeast cost of the country called France) and Aethalia (now Elba), before reaching Aeaea, Circe's abode, located here in Italy, but otherwise considered as an island of doubtful location.
		Having sailed past the SIRENS, the Wandering Rocks (Planctae), Scylla and Charybdis, the ARGONAUTS came to the land of the Phaeacians, generally identified with the island of Corcyra or Corfu.
		After that, they came to the Lake Tritonis in the continent then called Libya but today called Africa.

		On their way to Colchis, the country of the sunrise in the Orient, the Greeks meet with many challenges.
		The greatest danger they encounter in trying to reach their goal is a stormy sea in which they must pass through the shifting or clashing rocks, the Planctae or Symplegades, which the sea alternately pushes apart and brings together.
		Once in Colchis, they ask King Aeetes for the Fleece.

		Ok now I'm confused We also went out of Littlehampton on Sat and Mon (both times to the Shirala due to depth limits of certain members of our party).
		Sat late LW slack 23.5m depth 8m viz, not a planctae to be seen Mon HW slack 26m depth 4m viz, again no plancton but some silt cut the viz.
		How comes it was "lights out" a few miles further offshore when we didn't need torches at 5pm on the Shirala?

		Regular radiological monitoring of foodstuffs in Polynesia has been conducted since 1975; no anomaly
		Verification is even more extensive on the sites extending to a broad cross section of living foodstuffs (shellfish, fish, poultry, coconut) and certain marine vegetation (algae and planctae) which are apt to concentrate radioactive particles in suspension in the water.
		These various studies of products destined directly or indirectly for consumption show that the level of artificial radioactivity ingested by the population of the region is still below 0.1 mSv.
